No Condition Is Permanent

Pictured: James Brown

Some would have it that, within the universe we share, seemingly disparate events align according to plan. Well, somebody’s plan…we’re not sure whose plan, but so be it. As such, perhaps we shouldn’t have been all that surprised when, last Saturday evening, DJ Lee=Roy took delivery of a large package containing a Wm. Burroughs-authorized Dream Machine that the dog had ordered via the Loompanics catalog. On this self-same Saturday, Uncle Morty’s truck pulled up to the curb outside the Purple Bat Lounge, proffering a new strain called — are you ready for this? — Dream Machine. Coincidence? We think not. As a superabundance of great tunes played throughout the evening, co-host Reeshard stood by helplessly as Lee-Roy fascinated on his new, mind-bending toy. This threatened to derail the otherwise orderly progress of the evening, until Reeshard recalled recent events, the mention of which had an uncharacteristically humbling effect on everyone’s favorite pit bull.

How could a lone Saturday evening spent in a bad part of town, much less the seediest bar in said neighborhood, spawn so many questions? When (and, more importantly, why) did DJ Lee-Roy begin identifying as a Mayflower pit bull? And why did we learn this only last Saturday night? When Uncle Morty’s truck played the warped “Für Elise” tape loop, was this the siren call of a loved one’s return? Or merely the song of a bird of prey, swooping down on a victim? Was the Madison’s ‘Empowered Women’ double feature emblematic of sympathy with #MeToo? Or merely a facetious — and not to mention a slightly tacky — gesture? How did Reeshard talk Lee-Roy out of accepting a gig as the Satan’s Sadists’ mascot? Learn the answers to these and so many other questions prompted by last Saturday’s episode…why? Because expiring minds need to know. So can yours, merely by clicking in the right place, a few pixels down the page. Tune in anyway…

It was a Saturday night, just last Saturday night come to think of it, and the stars were lining up in just the right order to suit DJ Lee-Roy. A new issue of his favorite canine fetish porn mag — Paws’N’Gravy — had arrived in the mail. LaWanda, bartender & resident dominatrix at The Purple Bat Lounge, sent her signature Lee-Roy Cocktail™ to the booth. Co-host Reeshard kept his ’60s-’70s cultural references to a minimum. And the guys at The Madison programmed a twin-bill of blaxploitation favorites featuring our pit bull’s favorite actress, Pam Grier. Nearly three dozen tunes played, each one guaranteed to trigger party fission regardless of the temperature. We’re almost certain something went amiss, but damned if we can recall what it might have been. It was that kind of evening. You can share this now, without fear of getting anything on your outfit, simply by clicking immediately below. Tune in anyway…

First, DJ’s Reeshard & Lee-Roy offer heartfelt thanks to all who chipped in on Luxuria Music’s behalf during the past fortnight’s Pledge Drive 2018. (Those who have yet to do so are advised to check the premium links at the tail end of this post.) So you’d think that, with due diligence paid to our effort to keep the station online, the guys could just return to doing what they do best: Creating the perfect soundtrack for ill-considered behavior by spinning three dozen tunes and then some. Rarely, though, is anything quite that simple, certainly not within the Purple Bat Lounge on a Saturday night. Curious sounds drew Reeshard’s attention, even as his canine co-host tried desperately to avoid acknowledging…whatever it was that emerged from the bar’s basement. The fact of The Madison featuring a literal double-header (both films about two-headed monsters) was deemed purely coincidental. Luckily, all heads concerned turned calmer once Uncle Morty’s truck pulled up, dispensing a lascivious strain – for which Lee-Roy, of course, had the perfect application. To hear how it all turned out, in addition to four block-rocking sets of music, click in the right spots just a few pixels to the south of these words. Tune in anyway…

N.C.I.P. LIFESTYLE ACCESSORIES!!

  You get two lengthy complete broadcasts of Cleveland DJ ‘Mad Daddy’ Myers on one disc, containing two of his shows, one of these being his farewell appearance at WHK in Cleveland, where he made his name. Enjoy the CD booklet graphics (incorporating Lee-Roy’s chew toy) and a little essay for the inside.

  During any episode of N.C.I.P. at 10pm you’ll hear Count Reeshard read Uncle Morty’s fresh menu of garden delights. It’s an education. Oh, yes. A postcard-sized, floppy metallic collant designed to burn into your brain the image of Morty’s famous ice cream truck with the faded popsicle stickers that no longer sells popsicles. When he comes careening around your corner, you’ll know just what to do. “YO! MORTY!”

  Lee-Roy’s mug graces the graphics of this hex-breaking NCIP magnet; the magic talisman that provides instant relief from your clean and shiny Saturday night. And it’s the perfect reminder to listen, vanquishing your short term memory loss. What was I saying?

  LET THE CHICKEN IN! The inaugural program premium that started the NCIP magnet craze. A few of these collectible magnets are still available- but when they’re gone, they’re gone. We’re moving on. No repeats. You snooze, you lose.

   Amaze your friends with this cassette of 15 second samples of Count Reeshard’s vinyl collection encompassing A through L that he recorded while recovering from his vasectomy in Spring of 1990. If truly curious, inquire about the Dr. Wang experience. It’s unbelievable.

This past Saturday evening, as experienced collectively by patrons of the Purple Bat Lounge, was extraordinary in the larger measure owing as much to what did not happen as to what did. Space aliens did not visit the bar, nor did bikers in search of comp’ed drinks. Nice Guy Eddie stayed at his end of the block. Co-host Lee-Roy experienced no significant transformations as the result of Uncle Morty’s delivery service. And, by extension, host Reeshard did not lose the will to live because of his co-host’s incorrigible tendencies. Nearly three dozen songs, any one among them capable of breaking a lease, played throughout. However, the specter of Luxuria Music‘s forthcoming Pledge Drive cast a shadow over the proceedings. Lee-Roy offered — and he’s offered before, of course —  his stud services in exchange for listeners’ money. A bold (and somewhat fraudulent) notion from a dog spayed long ago, you might think. You’d be right, but that’s not the half of it. Click below and hear the rest, especially the music. Tune in anyway…

Last Saturday evening seemed a run-of-the-mill affair, another stretch of time casually murdered by the patrons of the Purple Bat Lounge — albeit done to a great soundtrack provided by DJ’s Reeshard & Lee-Roy. Canny observers might guess this would prove an evening like no other when a tray bearing four Lee-Roy Cocktails™ arrived at the DJ booth, all destined for consumption by their namesake. Then the manufacturer of this copious order, bartender LaWanda (wearing a nurse’s uniform and carrying a syringe of intimidating proportions), descended into the bar’s basement. The Purple Bat’s cellar resembles that cave beneath stately Wayne Manor: few venture down and almost none return. Bearing this in mind, LaWanda’s exit raised questions, as did the news of The Madison’s twin-bill of Slaughter blaxploitation movies. Uncle Morty stopped by, as dependable as Old Faithful, with something that had Lee-Roy embarking on a vision quest of sorts, our pointedly non-spiritual pit bull suddenly quoting lines from ur-midnight movie El Topo. Could things get any worse? Click below to find out. Tune in anyway…

Social fluidity is central to any bar’s existence, or so you’d think. At the Purple Bat Lounge, the fluid part is taken for granted. The patrons’ social skills, on the other hand, could benefit from a periodic tune-up. Consider the random appearance last Saturday of of Nice Guy Eddie, a nogoodnik tuxedo cat with scary dental hygiene issues who’s a frenemy of longstanding with DJ Lee-Roy. Nice Guy Eddie, as it transpired, had been 86’ed for the moment from the Blue Moon, another bar just down Brush Street that was (owing to the cat’s rat-crunching skills) his usual place of employ. Co-host Reeshard suspected Nice Guy Eddie of little beyond looking to get in on Lee-Roy’s latest transaction with Uncle Morty’s truck. And, wouldn’t you know, Reeshard was right. (For the record, said transaction yielded a small jar labeled Forbidden Fruit.) The promise of a Mondo Satanic double feature at the Madison doubtless sweetened the deal. Could anything good have come of this, outside of the three dozen great tunes heard over the evening’s course? Of course not. But we won’t spill it all — you can do that for yourself, simply by filling a glass and clicking appropriately a few pixels south of this sentence. Tune in anyway…

The Purple Bat Lounge, that frabjous spot in a decidedly vorpal neighborhood, on first glance might resemble little more than a backwater of ambitions unfulfilled (if not avoided outright). Yet, beneath that soporific veneer lurks a cauldron of potential conflict awaiting the catalyst that makes everything go oh so very wrong. In the latest instance of same, all it took was DJ Lee-Roy noticing, within last Saturday’s four sets of high velocity tunes, an unusual garment worn by co-host Reeshard. From there, things spiraled downward, aided in no small measure by the arrival of Uncle Morty’s truck with its latest offering: A canister labeled Hannibal Nectar. If you can imagine what this dredged from Lee-Roy’s fertile subconscious, then you’re to be commended for your flair for the bleeding obvious. Though the evening did contain — aside from news of a super slutty twin-bill at The Madison — some actual surprises. The latter may be experienced at safe remove within your own home, simply by clicking in the right spots immediately below. Tune in anyway…

As yet another milepost was rounded in the ongoing saga of N.C.I.P. — being the 150th episode — Reeshard & Lee-Roy celebrated in the time-honored manner by cherry-picking their favorite tunes from the preceding two dozen shows. This, much to the delight of patrons within the Purple Bat Lounge…well, those still conscious by 9pm. (It’s to be noted that, given the hour, this in no way guaranteed a consensus.) Over three dozen tunes were heard, Uncle Morty dropped off an old favorite at the mid-point and, to honor their favorite canine co-host, the Madison’s programmers slated a twin-bill of Pam Grier movies. You’d assume these represented the components of a proper commemoration, but then, you’re not Lee-Roy. No, the dog demanded celebrity endorsement for his achievement. And to that end, eventually, he succeeded…sort of. But that’s the part of last Saturday evening best discovered by clicking in all the right places just a few pixels south of this sentence. Tune in anyway…
